His relief from the redness, itching, scaling, and dryness was 50% improved, but some new eruptions were still appearing. His scalp eruptions were almost cured.

After two months, when he came for a follow-up on 12th November 2018, there was 70% improvement in his recovery from Psoriatic spots. His scaling was reduced drastically. All other symptoms were also reduced a lot. Only a few active spots were seen on his elbows. He was happy with the result. He is still continuing the treatment for further recovery.
